Houston ARC all the more important.
"[The men] think they're getting a routine eye exam,
when what we're really doing is analyzing them medi-
cally and psychologically to prescribe optimal treatment
for them," he says.
This, coupled with a grounded faith in Jesus Christ as
the only way to entire healing of soul, mind and body,
makes the transformed person complete.
"There are relapses," Joey admits. "When a man
leaves [an ARC] program, it is critical that proper food,
particularly sugar, is consumed for the rehabilitated life
to be successful. When proper food is not available to his/
her diet, the addict will often resort to alcohol and/or
drugs to fill the void and achieve balance--the same old
cycle."
Dr. Dollak is a founder of Visual Compassion, a 501c3
non�profit organized in 2006. He acquired InFOCUS,
which offers "Vision Care" workshops and step-by-step
guidelines to prepare community�based service provid-
ers to assess vision, provide eye health education, refer
patients to eye doctors and--if eyeglasses are pre-
scribed--dispense glasses from a small, on�site dispen-
sary. (More information at infocusonline.org.)
Plans are in the works for a possible partnership
between The Salvation Army and Visual Compassion,
with an eye toward establishing clinics in Haiti that will
produce eyeglasses, with distribution through clinics
started up at key locations.
"Right now there is no manufacturing of eyeglasses in
all of Haiti, per our sources. This partnership with the
Army will not only set up access for eye care for your
child but also create an enterprise to distribute glasses
all across the country," Joey says.
Joey explains that understanding and dealing with
optics is very different today than it was a few decades
ago. Although distributing used glasses is commendable,
it is not the best way to help the individual obtain
balance.
"It is so much better to manufacture a remedy for
proper eye care, instead of the old method of redistribut-
ing used glasses," Joey sums up. "And that involves
facing the real, underlying problem, and treating one's
tendency to addiction," Joey theorizes.
